Find media files using keyword tags
Keyword tags let you quickly find photos and other files. When you use keyword tags to find photos and media files,
the find bar expands to display the keyword tags you’ve selected. Searches begin as soon as you select the tags in the
Keyword Tags panel.
Search for media files with specific keyword tags by clicking the box next to the tag’s name.
•
In the Keyword Tags panel, click the square next to the tag’s name, or drag the tag icon to the find bar. You can
include multiple keyword tags in a search.
Elements
Organizer finds media files that have the keyword tags attached. If no photo matches all the tags in your
search criteria, the Media Browser displays closely matching media files containing a subset of the keyword tags.
•
To define a range of time for the search, specify a Date option in the Media Browser Arrangement menu, and then
drag the Timeline end-point markers to the beginning and end of the range you want.
•
To remove a tag from the search, double-click the tag in the find bar. (Or click the Back button in the shortcuts bar
to remove the last tag you added.)
